Benneteau and Llodra battled through a tough first set and rolled from there,
posting a 7-6 (7-3), 6-1, 6-0 triumph over the Israeli duo of Jonathan Erlich
and Dudi Sela, giving the host nation an insurmountable 3-0 advantage in the
best-of-five tie.

The French had opened a 2-0 lead after Friday's singles action thanks to wins
from top-10 stars Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet.

France improved to 4-0 all-time against Israel. The nine-time Davis Cup champs
haven't lifted the trophy since 2001 and will next meet the Argentina-Germany
winner in April's quarterfinals.
